About this image

Clear night sky to good to miss despite getting in later from the very interesting talk by Prof. Ian Morison at the Nottingham Astronomical Society.

My eVscope moved outside & assembled, acclimatised, levelled, autonomous field detection, focussed (with Bahtinov mask) all in half-an-hour and ready to go!

M64, the Black Eye Galaxy or NGC 4826, is 17 million light-years away at magnitude +8.5 and another type 2 Seyfert galaxy.
